[s-cars] HVAC Error Codes - What do they mean?

[Douglas Fifield]

Thanks, Brian.

The air flow is obviously not going where it is intended.  I get very
little warm air on the feet and when I turn the front defroster on,
there is very little airflow to the windshield.  I was hoping that
someone out there has had similar problems and could point me to a
write-up or two.

I will search the places you mentioned, but was hoping to find a
shortcut.  Not looking forward to tearing apart the dash to access
flaps and motors.
